a court in norway decides muscular under the brave it is say as the judge sentences him to at least twenty one games in prison that's while the case itself my life the failure of europe's multiculturalism. europe's paymasters dash greece's hopes for more lenient austerity while athens lashes out at germany demanding it stop spreading rumors of its imminent you are exit. and the un's new global shock when news talks with iran over the atomic program the islamic state claim disputed piece or i made doubts over the agency's impartiality.

this is all see coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the program and norway court has found a mass murderer under is very big sane and he now faces at least twenty one years in prison during previous hearings the killer said he was not going to appeal such a decision he insisted he was mentally sound and had august traded last year's massacre to show his rejection of government policies of immigrants and in july twenty eleven he slaughtered dozens of people in a double attack and during the whole trial never showed any remorse for his actions and europe saw a spike in far right activities after the tragedy and as silly reports the hearing has highlighted the fact that europe's multicultural policy is fairly speedy misson that bilious. there is no doubt about his guilt far right militant unders brave massacred seventy seven people in norway thirteen months ago to show his rejection

of government policies and immigrants and is long. but the question at the heart of his trial is he insane brave because long insisted he is not that his extreme and xenophobia ideology is not the ravings of a lunatic all this case once again highlighted europe's deepening divide over immigration had integration and the subsequent radicalization of ideas. we cannot see the people more racist certainly not but there has been some sort of. reuther or wider opportunity for people to express their hate and to indulge into violent behavior. but also physical violence including murders last week a twenty nine year old suspected brave big sympathizer was charged in the czech republic officers found weapons and police uniforms in his flat and they believe he was planning a brave it style slaughter. while in norway police are investigating

a threatening e-mail sent to newspapers and politicians from a person who claims to be brave and in command i would my soldiers to give all due respect to our people our culture and our ethnicity and warn all advocates of multiculturalism they gave this war we are now so deeply in physical violence is. a line that we draw very clearly now multiculturalism in the sense that everybody could keep this culture well this idea which has been the official idea for over for the last twenty years this idea is over there is a leading culture of the european values and european culture such far right fire has gained traction in europe but it's also angered the racism groups and proponents of the left there are some resorting to very public displays of opposition. for food and racism against muslims have

become so common we think it's necessary to have a deep debate with the intellectuals who feed the far right ideology while there's an increasingly vocal and ideologies and a rise in political extremes that were once kept at the fringes some argue that national debates on the issue remain insufficient that simmering social tensions are testing the limits of tolerance in europe yet despite the obvious threat of a deepening standoff between europeans and immigrants others say europe's tendency to walk on eggshells in the name of political correctness makes any real and honest debate all but impossible when you have the riots. we didn't. miss you missed and everyone tried to find some excuse. but condition of life and if we don't send a clear message to everyone far right. muslim

. youth become taught understandably and is brave extra may have reached a conclusion but europe still nowhere near to wending at all to whether the cycle of fear and hatred. does or cilia r.t. brussels. for an exposé pinion on the story last night across live to brussels as i'm now joined by load venue's has an international consultant and former deputy speaker for the belgian parliament mr been a very warm welcome to the program the sanity of six has come as a relieve to the relatives of the victims who wanted to see brave held accountable but this also gives a brick believes said legitimacy doesn't it well i disagree i don't think it is believed to legitimacy for the simple reason that it was that he was judged on his acts not on his believes whether what is going to happen with the appreciation of his beliefs is nominated but i do not believe that the jury.

verdict now gives any legitimate jewish belief sorry. but despite a global outcry and condemnation of brave exactions europe has seen a tendency to radicalization and popularization out. why do you think that is. that is absolutely correct and that there is more and more radical have been you giving voice to for eight views now i think probably of cause there we can all deny there are problems with immigrants and there are problems with. integration of these people we cannot deny this but on the other hand we cannot deny that they seek reasons for the discontent of people in the social and economic of people for trying to find scapegoats it's not always in the right direction but we have to this new routine anger and frustration which is justified. and with the

way that the expressive i mean to radicalize and to just to point to immigrants as a sole reason of all in europe is wrong it's not true and there are serious problems but they are not the only ones in europe yes indeed and brave explores how only encouraged others to attempts to follow his example war can governments doing to address the problem of copycats that. quote this indecision and eternal problem topic any big crime had and will have copycats the only feel you can do is learn your lessons from what you what went wrong in the past and try to adopt them in the future but to think that a government can develop a policy that will totally one hundred percent prevent copycats this is to live because it is impossible we have to first try to understand why these things happen and then try to unmanned them but to say that we can have a for a policy to avoid copycats it's simply impossible and there are also several high

profile politicians including angela merkel i haven't met as the policy of not to culture is and has failed so what's going to be the political course in europe one of its key policies is now down the drain out well in the ground as you say now be forced to integrate into a european society first of all there they are already being forced to integrate and instead program that this process of integration in all functioning that it is a basic problem but the thing is first of all multiculturalism first of all has always been in this i mean something that was used in a political context and secondly i do not believe that this was a keyboard of the european union european union is an economic projects and that is that was a key policy now there has been a lot of rhetoric around multicultural is in the past especially when there's riots and there are people coming up and say well ok there are circumstances but look at

the fact that the fact is that these people are discriminated by the police on an everyday basis and this also causes anger and frustration now when there right you have to act you cannot accept violence destruction of property of course but you cannot go about without analyzing afterwards and say what are the causes and what are possible solutions in the long term because what you do. who is who derives from short term reaction. to deal with this if you don't have a long don't fall asleep it's a ploy to sing the surgeon far right ideas as remakes believes as you say has coincided hasn't it with the tough economic situation in europe what's the connection here if there's one that's and so the connection between what we're not yet the situation yet visitation economic situation in europe. seargent the right there is of course not direct line of connection between one and two but the fact that there are certain problems society like you with immigrants and on and at the

same time there are economic problems people try to find a solution and when they cannot and there's also a question of who are you going to fight the multinationals big big corporations who are going you're going to find a minority in your neighborhood well that this is also something that has a lot of media that is what is the big what is the real problem in society i do believe that there is a problem with immigration in europe i also believe that there is a much bigger problem with the economic reconstruction of europe as it is from home which is causing all this social frustration a lot of when you say international consultant and former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament thank you very much indeed for sharing is a thank you. also coming your way this hour boot bargaining lays the ground with a possible hand of the russian businessman jailed in the u.s. for what he sees as political persecution. and a small slice of

a peaceful life inside a civil war visits a syrian town which serves as a reminder of the state was before the fatal uprising. greece will be battling to win concessions today germany in a bid to ease the pressure of its suffocating berlin mandated us territory program there's little goodwill left for athens in the lead being ordered to stick by cancer face a euro zone exit. one of our reports not all is lost just yet friday says the greek prime minister mr some modest begin a charm offensive against europe's big two he's here in berlin for talks with anger merkel before later flying off for a meeting on saturday with france were alarmed in paris now he's going to hope that he can try and get extra time for greece to be able to make the cuts that they have to make in order for them to receive the next round of bailout money and we're

talking about thirty billion euros worth of bailout money there actually over thirty billion euros so certainly no small feat both merkel and land have well differing approaches to how to tackle the problems that are ongoing in greece at the moment i'm glad merkel wants to see cuts and the timetable of cuts and here to stringently where is francois hollande from france seems a little bit more willing to bend and to give a little bit of leeway because the reality is if greece isn't given extra time then they're going to have to cut even deeper and it's those deeper cuts that are just going to mean more protests we're going to see more violence and going to see more suffering for the people of greece. and with just hours to go before uncle americal amaze her greek counterpart there's more bad news for athens the parliamentary needs of germany's ruling party has categorically ruled out any renegotiation of bailout conditions investment advisor patrick young doubts if softer terms would

even help greece out of its predicament it's really rather see this whole situation i mean the greek political class are utterly delusional if they believe that they can possibly manage to make the numbers add up the numbers simply don't guard up they have not added up in greece for two decades probably a great deal longer ultimately there is a fiction prize to be won from greece agree good logic numbers to the idea that suddenly when you have calmly beaten until spin it's collapsing an incredible almost on precedent a grit that suddenly everything's going to switch around is really not going to happen there are obviously lots of people involved and those are the citizens of greens who are finding themselves in an absolutely appalling economics through it we all have to sympathise with but it's a huge problem but ultimately greece has not done anything to really help itself it's missed every possible deadline it's been given and now it's come back with that give all still looking for more money more time more possibilities and really

well it's like dealing with a dodgy builder they're always promised to your wonderful new highs that there never seems to be any progress and remember you can always find all our stories online on our website our comment has a taste i was there for you right now. russian scientists for within a hair's breath of being the first in the world to create artificial intelligence gain an edge of their rivals from all over the world at an international contest. and a former military base gets a natural make over but while the big guns might be god some big teams have taken their place. the u.n. u.s. nuclear body has been huge talks with iran over appeases of iraq the access to the country's atomic facilities to previous discussions of failed to run assess its nuclear program is exclusively peaceful but somewhat power is suspected of pursuing atomic bombs and it's

a journalist james corbett doubts the talks will baffert unfortunately the i.a.e.a. has been exposed during this entire iranian dispute as as did little more than a gang of thugs rather than a bureaucratic agency that's trying to neutrally arbitrate this dispute and really what it demonstrates is that the nuclear powers that that currently exist are are really trying to enforce a monopoly on nuclear power and dictating what countries can or cannot have access to that so that they're attempting to to hold the iranian government which is a signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty to higher standards than other members of the i.e.e.e. who are currently using nuclear power and of course one of the biggest detractors of iran in the iranian nuclear program is israel which itself is not a signatory to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and has hundreds of nuclear weapons itself which have never been publicly officially disclosed so there's

there's a lot going on under the surface here but it just goes to show that unfortunately the decision has already been made before its report has even been finalized. iran is currently training on the crippling western sanctions imposed in connection with its nuclear program but the ordinary iranians deprived of their living necessities bearing the brunt says political commentator hamid reza. i wonder why do you any government is not taking the united states international courts because of that because the sanctions that the united states has imposed on iran are genocidal sanctions they're killing people they're killing ordinary civilians are killing medics retired people killing people who have not got nothing to do with the ones nuclear program it's affecting the whole family you know it's affecting my dad because he can't get the medication that he needs he was diagnosed with p.t.s.d. so for the past three decades he's been receiving medication he became a diabetic after a few years and if you can't get the medicines then his life is in danger is not only diabetic people you have eight thousand hemophilia people in iran who

badly need those medicines and they're not getting it because these medicines are being produced in the united states are being produced in the european union and because we can't buy them they can't use it and that's putting the life in danger and that's the message we have to relate to the world. russia's request that the u.s. provides documents in the case of vick to boot as it considers its extradition that the russian businessman is serving twenty five years in an american jail for conspiring to kill u.s. nationals those however maintains his innocence claiming the case was politically motivated and she's more in a fortnight reports from new york. well considering that the u.s. has spent many years and millions of dollars hunting down boot these chances for russia are quite challenging victor boot was arrested in march two thousand and eight in thailand during a sting operation carried out by the u.s.

drug enforcement agency u.s. officials say that was attempting to sell weapons to members of the colombian fork which would have been allegedly used to kill americans victor boot all along has maintained that he is innocent despite the fact that i thai government found him not guilty two times the u.s. still managed to extradite victor boot to the united states at the end of two thousand and ten without notifying russia without notifying victor good attorney without notifying victor boot family and according to documents that were released by wiki leaks some time ago if there was indications that the u.s. was putting a lot of pressure on thailand the thailand government to get victor boot many argue that what the u.s. did was a violation of international law in two thousand and five many may remember there was a hollywood movie called lord of war and nicolas cage the actor was playing a character that he said was based on victor boot and victor boot following that

movie was dubbed the merchant of death so when he went into court for his trial many believe that the chances of him getting a fair trial were unlikely because many thought of him as a villain to begin with r.t. does speak exclusively with victor boot and he said he has been used as a political pawn broker recurs purely political marker of. american government repeatedly. it still has not been clear or indicated by any u.s. officials how they believe they have the legal right to extradite victor boot a russian citizen from thailand to the u.s. which is one of many reasons why russia saying that this is a russian citizen and is asking for him to be extradited to russia to serve out his twenty five year sentence that was delivered by a u.s. court. oakwood all standing by his decision to grant asylum to german us songs for

an indefinite period ignoring the threats by britain to storm its and the same london in an interview to ask the spanish channel the country's president to a file called rare that his choice is fully supported across latin america. we supported him an excuse me but i can't seem to find a better word because of the diplomatic clumsiness of great britain they threatened us with violating the sovereignty of our embassy in order to arrest the so on this was brought together all the nations in south america and other parts of the world because this would have been pure barbarism it's an unacceptable risk which would break one of the ground principles which is lost to the ages the in viability of diplomatic missions the bolivarian alliance and supported by the people of south america and you know mainly for that reason not for granting asylum under president cora's full interview will be coming up here on us here later today with more of these thoughts on just how far the diplomatic standoff of the children are sound.

the u.s. is once again talking of the possibility of chemical weapons being used in syria by saying it's not positioning biohazard gear in the region and president obama warned any movement of the arms stockpile would be a red line for the u.s. military to move it despite syria's continuing rush surance says some channels will never be used in its civil conflict meanwhile the fighting between pro and anti regime forces rages across the state some of the heaviest battles are taking place in both the capital damascus and the second city of aleppo but as always he's on a boycott reports and always says of peace still remains in syria. a phrase syrians use for someone who loves life and a good description of this nation's character different during a time of war some syrians to preserve their home or joviality.

the town of sway there is one of the few communities in syria still largely unaffected by violence but what they can't even man with slash as usual here people come to the park with their families every night nothing has changed. it's a striking contrast to the rest of the country just fifty kilometers west lies daraa the city where the syrian uprising began and we're going out to buy bread is sometimes a major risk but for the residents of suede that is no coincidence populated primarily by the jews a religious group that incorporate elements of all major faiths sway that has so far proved syria's most successful peace laboratory the locals say it's because their culture breeds tolerance. in the list is very different there's a basic right guaranteed by humanity in psuedo we have people of different political opinions we all respect and accept each other as human beings that's why sweden hasn't witnessed any confrontations we can differ politically but we still

want to preserve our homeland we have people who are against the government but they're also against the violence then no army checkpoint on the streets and no fear of rebel snipers on the rooftops business is slower than usual but the outlook is a bit these hotel opened its doors just two weeks ago its general manager is convinced that tolerance both political and religious always pays off. have to continue. people who have. have to. accept it. which you have to accept. about. so i think it's good to open up this while the rest of syria gathers funerals in psuedo weddings are still the most common public event. and more among

about a dozen couples timed the knot on that particular day higher than the number in hotels where used to seeing very different people and we'll learn how to accept everybody that's what syria needs both sides need to stop killing and start talking to some in the west it may come across as ignorance and disregard for those who are suffering but it's actually the opposite the syrians always value the beauty of the simple life and they won't give it up easily at gunpoint. i'm not sure about. the economy we're going to get it right now but i think that. maybe you never hear me. in my company every morning on the way down here. the republican party looks to bring the gold standard daniels' a tough business to explain yes years of rising debt is bringing real concern you

can just print your way out of this crisis republicans have now drafted a public platform to allow freely converting dollars into gold those fixing its value we're joined by jacob morgan stanley to discuss this jacob gold standard makes sense doesn't it. i don't think so i think if you have a car which is just backed by the gold standard you won't have the kind of flexibility to intervene when you have a crisis think what happened when lehman brothers went down and the authorities sat on the sidelines since then through the crisis we. the fed intervene time and again i'm not saying that there are negative consequences to those interventions but if it hadn't intervened there's a there's a significant risk that would be in a far worse place than we are today in the great depression in america unemployment was in the high teens low twenty's for years now in america it's just eight percent i think it's a lot worse than it could it is a lot better than it could have been and their hands could have been tied if they'd

been tied to a gold standard but it can't just be right to print endless banknotes in the value of the currency. well let's think about that a little bit printing banknotes means what people generally talking about is going out and buying assets in particular buying government bonds which probably will get paid back in a few years' time so it may be an expansion of their balance sheet that is then on one hand in the years ahead secondly is it really leading to devaluation of the dollar recently of course we've seen the dollar strengthening against many other currencies so it seems to me that it's not clear expanding the balance sheet has led to high inflation inflation is quite subdued around the world at the moment and it's not led to an irreversible decline in the value of the dollar against other currencies so i think some of the inflated claims for the negative

consequences of monetary appointed to easing have been shown to be disputable on the news some cases fall could you just explain to us what will happen so the republicans bring idioms they win the elections and bring this gold standard in and other countries may follow suit what would happen to were the gold standard what would it what would it be tail. well i mean the mechanics of it could be quite complicated if we go back to the system that we had called bretton woods from the end of the second world war through. to the great inflation in america in the one nine hundred seventy s. what happened was the dollar was pegged to gold the magic price was thirty five dollars an ounce and all the other currencies in the system were pegged to the dollar. and that was fine as long as america pursued stability oriented policies but then it fell apart when america tried to finance the great society at home and the vietnamese war brought an increased spending on sustainably so i think

what would happen if they did try and implemented is that you would see other currencies around the world fix to the dollar and the dollar fixed at some level to gold current market price sayas to what would happen after that i think is is is is very unclear because if you had people turning up at the federal reserve window in washington saying please i'd like some gold for my greenbacks they'd soon run i also for gold because they don't have enough gold and there's enough gold in the world jason to take over the issue of the american dream can i just interrupt a final sixty four thousand dollar question if america's national debts now were fifteen trillion dollars would you follow china's example and cut your reserves of the greenback. look economies are complex i think the main thing is to keep growth ticking along until we can deal with the debt crisis and if we try and deal with

a debt crisis too soon we're going to hit growth that's what the fiscal cliff would be so therefore i think that the priority at the moment has got to be a balanced approach that tries to keep growth continuing along while dealing with some of the longer term issues such as medicaid entitle them to pension entitlements in the u.s. case which will reduce the federal budget in the future but not today the fridge federal budget deficit the future nor i take no from all the stuff you're fortunate so we've got time for very interesting but that's all we've got this hour we'll have more business for you next hour. thank you.
